For new graduates, the physical therapy profession offers many different ways to grow and develop. Joe believes, \\u201cOne of the great things about being a physical therapist is you have so many different aspects and avenues to really go. There are so many options.\\u201d

Joe recommends creating a consistent treatment methodology for chronic pain patients. Joe states, \\u201cIt created continuity of care. It created almost one mind. When you came into the clinic, patients knew that there was a method going on here and they felt safe there.\\u201d

Joe has found performance tracking to be a useful tool for his employees to help asses their strengths and areas for improvement. Joe states, \\u201c[Metrics] can actually be a way to motivate people but they can be an indicator as to how interested someone is in their job.\\u201d
